Natsu no Arashi! Akinaichuu

Recap: During summer vacation Yasaka Hajime meets Arashiyama Sayoko at a café and it is love at first sight — at least for him.

So he decides to start working part-time there, to be close to her.

But Sayoko is not your regular girl; she claims to be a ghost possessing him.

And as it turns out all his co-workers have a mysterious secret of their own as well...

As the days go by for Hajime, the recent additions to the Hakobune Café staff: Fushimi Yayoi and Yamazaki Kanako — both ghosts from the same era as Arashi and Kaya — feel right at home, adding spice to the already unusual daily happenings at the café. Hajime's happy days spent with Sayoko take a dampener though, when he finds out that she will apparently disappear at the end of summer...
